Cristiano Ronaldo, Noah Lyles, Kevin Durant, name an elite athlete, and IShowSpeed has already tested his athletic fire against them. At just 20, he is making a case as the most athletic creator of his generation. Now, Speed has taken on an entirely new arena: bodybuilding.

Flexing not for YouTube views, but right beside 6-time Classic Physique Mr. Olympia Chris Bumstead and IFBB Pro powerhouse Blessing Awodibu. And this time, the man known for being the most unhinged was genuinely insecure for the first time.

SpeedyHQ’s Twitter account uploaded a video of IShowSpeed posing against Blessing Awodibu while Chris Bumstead called out the poses. Speed ran through a front double biceps, side chest, abs, and other classic shots. His shoulders stood out enough for Chris to notice, but Speed still felt small next to the pros.

“I look like a little pebble to you, dog. What the f***. I’ getting insecure, bro.”

Speed was about to be bombarded with another reality check when the assistant announced there was a third challenger,  “Let’s bring the man for the last pose on.” And who was it? None other than former World’s Strongest Man Mitchell Hooper.

He jumped in wearing his green tank top, removed his T-shirt, and hit the front double bicep pose alongside the duo. Well, IShowSpeed was certainly a bit insecure about flexing his muscles against Hooper and Awodibu, but he still stepped up and executed every pose flawlessly. 

Speed’s run-ins with Chris Bumstead and company quickly drew fan attention, with many viewers just as stunned as he was.  

IShowSpeed gets hilarious reactions 

One of the fans added, “Why don't they go for a race?” IShowSpeed is known for one thing above all: running. The YouTuber nearly defeated Noah Lyles and even challenged Sha’Carri Richardson. Another fan jumped in at the right moment and expressed, “This man’s doing everything.” 

And, indeed, Speed seems determined to try it all. Through his SpeedGoesPro YouTube series, he is attempting every sport he can get his hands on, from gymnastics and football to basketball, WWE, and more.

With him trying more and more sports, sooner or later, we might actually see him compete in one for real. Given that, what was your favorite moment from the show?
